HALT/HASS Testing

HALT HASS Chamber - Thermotron Industries (Thermotron Industries)

AST applies stresses (such as temperature and vibration) to products well beyond its normal use environment. This type of testing is done to determine product operating and destruct limits. These stresses are applied as the product is functionally tested and continuously monitored for failures.

Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) are two types of accelerated stress testing. These types of tests are commonly used to eliminate design problems, helping to develop a robust, mature product prior to market introduction. It can also be used to screen out infant mortality issues prior to shipment.
